We have had word from the Eastbourne Club regarding the Travellers Series events over the weekend of the 1st & 2nd April. use the drop down menu to view the event NoR’s or click here to take a look.

Make it your goal to enter the Fleetwood TT event this weekend, the Notice of Race is published and the entry is open, check out the event page here.

We hope to have the Eastbourne event detail very soon as well as details and online entry for both the DF65 and DF95 Nationals.

Evening folks, just a quick note to let you know that the next rounds of the DF Racing TT series which take place at Chipstead and Coalhouse Fort over the weekend of the 11th & 12th March have opened for entries. The event page can be accessed here and includes NoR’s and entry details for both events.

We will get the Fleetwood event details online as soon as we have them.

So the first DFRUKNCA has taken place over the last few weeks and several topics have been voted on.

The results of the voting can be found on the AGM page.

Thanks to all those who took the time and voted.

We are now on 23 skippers for Saturday and 19 for Sunday, check out who’s coming here.

Looks like it could be a good weekend wind wise but there might be a little dampness so bring some foulies too!

The club will be open on Friday PM for some practice should you need any….

We will also have a preview of the DF Racing UK Dinghy Show stand which we reckon looks great.

Entries are still open for both days, send them through and we’ll add you to the list.

See you there!

So as a registered owner of either a DF95 or DF65 you should have had an email this morning asking you to cast your votes for the AGM.

Please make your vote count, we are all voting out here in Germany, definitely without hangovers…..

We have had a few entries come in for the first of the DF Racing 2017 TT Event at West Lancs YC but there is plenty of room for more on either day, the venue is great, the sailing will be great and the social will be….you guessed it…great so what are you waiting for!

Remember that this event will be 95’s Saturday and 65’s on Sunday as part of the popular ND winter series. You can choose to enter individual days or both depending on what you’ve got on.

The racing is bound to be fun and close and if we feed Mr Tushingham enough wine on Saturday evening he might struggle on the Sunday.

There is a current entry list posted on the event page along with the entry form here.

Just in case you weren’t entirely up to speed with what’s going on with the 2017 DF Racing Travellers here is a handy graphic which has been produced to show the detail of what’s happening where and when! Click on the image for a full size version.

It’s that time of year again when we all get our game faces on and head over to West Lancs YC in Southport for the first of the DF65 ND Winter Series. It has to be far and away the most social and raciest winter series North of the Watford Gap.

It attracts skippers from far and wide including Welsh Wales, the Lake District and Yorkshire and is well worth a go, even if you’re a novice skipper. There is always plenty of friendly advice on hand from some of the countries best DF skippers.

The series is run alongside the RC Laser ND Winter Series and both classes run on the same course at the same time which means that mark roundings can be fun and it keeps your skills sharp with nearly 30 boats on the water at times.

Racing starts at 10am with bacon butties beforehand and lunch also available.

As if that isn’t enough to tempt you to have a go we have also opened the entry for the first of the 2017 DF Travellers Series which, you’ve guessed it, is taking place over the weekend of the 11th and 12th of February, with DF95 racing on the Saturday and DF65 racing on the Sunday as part of the Winter Series. Details of how to enter are available in the drop down menu on the events tab.

The weekend is particularly important as it is Tushys 60th and there will be an amusing social gathering on the Saturday evening at a local restaurant which will no doubt end up being messy…..perhaps a chance to beat him on the Sunday….

Of course we forgot to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, so have that as well and we’ll see you on a startline somewhere soon!

As a Class Association 2016 has been a great year with positive growth in both the DF65 and DF95 classes, plenty of fun and competitive events around the country and some of the best racing. After several years of having a mend and make do approach to the Class Association we have, in 2016, got a team of people together who are keen and enthusiastic about taking the DF Racing Classes forward into the future.

With this in mind we need to have an AGM to make sure things get sorted and put in place in a proper manner, to this end as a registered DF class owner you’ll find an email in your inbox letting you know how it will work. It does require a little input from you as an individual, but not a lot and we’d be really pleased if you voted for the future of the Association.

If you haven’t had the email please use the contact form on the AGM page to let us know and we’ll update your details accordingly.
